Yes! You can use the undocumented dbwrap_tool.

USAGE: dbwrap_tool <database> <op> [<key> [<type> [<value>]]]
       ops: fetch, store, delete, erase, listkeys, listwatchers
       types: int32, uint32, string, hex

Example:
# list all the keys
dbwrap_tool yourdb.tdb listkeys

# remove the record by key
dbwrap_tool yourdb.tdb delete "name of the key"

Best regards
Björn
